Which team makes the playoff The team with the best overall record or the team with the best division record?
It depends upon the league/sport. In the NFL, for example, the team with the best overall record wins their division. In the event of a tie, the division record acts as the tiebreaker. I believe the best conference record wins the conference in NCAA Football, regardless of overall record. Then there are the league like the NHL, where a team earns 2 points for a win, 1 for a tie or post regulation loss--with the team accumulating the most points winning their division/conference.

Who does the wildcard team play in the MLB playoffs?
That would depend on what team has the best winning percentage in the league. Generally, the wild card team plays the division winner with the best winning percentage. However, if the division winner with the best winning percentage is in the same division as the wild card team, then the wild card team will play the division winner with the second best winning percentage and the division winner with the best winning percentage will play the other division winner. MLB is the only major sport that sets up their playoff system this way. This would keep the Yankees and Red Sox from playing in the first round of the playoffs.
Can you win your division and not make the nba playoffs?
No. In each conference, the top 4 rankings are the three division winners and the non-division-winning team that has the best record out of the rest. You win the division by having the best record out of the division. The order of the top 4 is by record of these 4 teams. The other 4 playoff teams take their ranking by record behind the first 4. So, to answer you question: No, the division winner is always in the top 4 ranking of their conference.

Does winning all your division games in the NFL make you first in that division?
No. It is only the overall record that matters when it comes to Division Championships. A team could conceivably win every divisional matchup, yet lose every other game for a record of 6-10, while another team in the same division could lose every divisional matchup, but win every other game for a record of 10-6 and head to the playoffs as the Division Champions (if the other two teams' records were 9-5 or worse). The division games do matter in the case of a tie for the best record in the division, as the head to head record is the first tiebreaker for entry to the playoffs and seeding.
